The Washington National Republic
can" OF October 9Th contains the fol-
lowing:
The situation in the Sandwich Islands
should command the earnest attention
of the administration. The American
people will never consent that avaricious
and all-grasping England shall put the
paw OF the lion on these gems set in the
western ocean to adorn the shores of the
American continent. And yet the signs
OF the times are very ominous of an eff

fort on the part of the English Govern
ment to get claim under which it may
set up a reason for seizing the islands.
Determined action now may prevent
serious trouble hereafter. The admins
tration that permits England or any
other nation to obtain control of the
Sandwich Islands will be responsible for
a great war. The American people will
not submit to see those islands, geo.
graphically commanding the entire Pa
cific coast of North America, dominated
by any European nation.
Ninety per cent. of the trade of the
islands, not very great now, it is true,
both imports and exports, is with the
United States. Yet this is but small
part of their Importance. They are so
situated that they not only command the
North American coast, but to great ex-
tent the trade of the Pacific Ocean Ger
many has seized Samoa, the next most
important group of the Pacific Islands,
perhaps under an agreement that Eng
lands occupation of the Sandwich Islands
will not be opposed.
VIII the United States Government sit
still while this bargain is being consum-
mated and afterward find themselves face
to face with accomplished facts with the
alternative to recognize and accept them
or to fight?
One of the circumstances that adds to
the interest of the situation and indicates
that King Kalakaua may have some
hopes, is that Mr.. r. w. Wilcox, one of
the young Sandwich Islanders carried
some years ago to Italy by Mr.. G. G. Mo-
reno, to be there educated, and who has
since been an officer of the Italian army,
has been ordered home. He is a native
and loyal to the King, and his ability as
a soldier, with his superior education,
may render him able to effect some
thing

A LOCAL AUTHORS WORK.

We have before US pamphlet lately
published in London, having emanated
from the pen of Mr.. Patrick H. w. Ross,
of Hamakua, Hawaii. It is described as
ga paper of SUGGESTIONS" it's theme is
Federation and the British Colonies"
and its design is to show that the pres
~ent year is opportune to carry out the
project of the federal union of the Brit
lsh Empire, as fitting memorial of the
jubilee of Queen Victoria. AS a literary
effort the book is undoubtedly possessed
OF considerable merit. The subject is
dealt with in broad and liberal spirit;
the English national character is faith
fully portrayed, and some of the colonial
traits are presented with equal accuracy.
The writer is evidently an enthusiast in
regard to his subject, and though his
opinions are shared by some of
the leading minds of the day,
they are at present in a mi
nority. Some of the obstacles that
stand in the way of federation are can
didly recognized, but we think that their
weight is underestimated. The "new
birth of opinions, which it is admitted
must precede the contamination Of this
mighty project, has yet to take place,
and the development of public opinion is
always a gradual process. Moreover,
one important fact has been overlooked.
We refer to the strong tendency toward
republicanism that exists in the Colonies.
A society has lately been formed in Sgd
ney TO disseminate its principles, and
that we believe to be the outcome of
what has been speedily gaining ground
for years. This is barrier which must
be removed from a not inconsiderable
section of the public mind before fedora
ton can become an accomplished fact.
However, the book is well worthy of
thoughtful perusal by all who take an
interest in the subject, whatever the
views entertained We believe it will
shortly be on sale in town.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The extra session of the Legislature
will open at noon to-day at the Legisla-
tive Hall, Aliiolani Hale The public
are invited to be present, and ushers
will be in attendance
The first business will be the election
of officers. For President two names
are mentioned Hons. S. G. Wilder and
w. r. Castle. Both have had consider
able experience in parliamentary mat
ters.
For the responsible position of Secre-
tary the following are mentioned: An
tone Rosa, j A. Magoon, William Wond
Major Hills and F. B. McStocker. The
two latter are not familiar with the Ha-
waiian language and have had no ex-
perience in Legislative business. The
position is between Rosa and Magoon
with the chances in favor of the latter.
Either one would make good Secretary.
There are several after the position of
Sergeant-at-Armsb BUTT is quite probable
that w. H. Halstead will receive a ma
jority of votes.
So many are in the field for the po-
sition of Messenger and Janitor that it
would take up too much of our space to
mention them all. No doubt good men
will be elected

Thurlow Weeds Obituary.
 NaahinVton Post


 When the venerable editor, printer publicist, politician, philanthropist lay OH his dying bed in the second floor back in his pleasant house on Twelfth street, New York city, his daughter, ever by his side, was asked into the hall to see caller.
 "Who was it?" asked the vigilant old man.
 "Only a young man." said his daughter. Tt is time for you to take your medicine again."
 "lVhat did he want?"
 <sOh, he bothered me with all sorts of questions. Come, now, you must keep still, father.'
 ''See here! You are keeping some- thing from me-" spoke up the distin- guished invalid; "he wanted help to write my obituary, didn't he?"
 "Yes! That's what he wanted !'' and like good daughter she gave way to flood of tears.
 "Bring him back. Send for him !'' gasped the sufferer.
 James, the colored boy, was dis patched, and the reporter was over taken and brought back. He looked rather embarrassed when he was led to the sick mans chamber, and marched up to the side of the bed.
 "Well," said MT. Weed, his face ex- pressing an appreciation of the fun of the situation, "what is it?"
 The youth stammered deprecat- ingly, and finally asked if he had any thing to add to what was known of Morgan.
 Look here, young man !" said the venerable editor, "be frank and speak up. You were sent to write my obit- uary, were you not?"
 The reporter confessed, with great relief, that it was his assignment.
 "Well, don't want you to go back disappointed. I was once reporter myself, and I know how it is, but if you'll make your question direct, and write fast, and listen close, you may ask anything you please, except how long l am going to last"
 To say that the young reporter was grateful at having struck man who "had been there himself," is speaking but half the truth. He succeeded in obtaining the fullest and most accu- rate obituary of "Warwick" that was printed when his death was announced three weeks later.

Boom Your Own City.

An exchange has the following sensi-
bic comments on how to improve and
boom your own city: If you want your
town to improve, improve it. If you
want to make your town lively, make it.
Don't 90 to sleep, but get up and work
for it. Push. Get in Advertise it.
Talk about it, and talk favorably. If
you have any property, improve it.
Paint your house, clean up your back
yard. Make your surroundings pleas
ant and you will feel better and your
property will be worth more dollars in
the market. If you are doing reasona-
bly, well, advise your far away friends to
come and invest near you. Work
steadily for your home interests. Trade
at home, help your home dealers. Keep
your money at home as much as possible
and it is likely to help you in return.
The successful towns in Wisconsin have
been made so by the property owners
all pulling together. Public improve
ment is an investment that pays Don't
waste you1 time over some neighbor-
hood quarrel, and hold back your aid
from some good object through spite,
but work for some good and you will
find yourself benefited. Get at it,
Wake up. Rustic. There is no time to
be lost, and every little helps.

Death of Calvin ID. Robinson.

From the Spokane CIV. t. Chronicle
we copy the following account of the
death and brief sketch of the life OF
Calvin d. Robinson, who for number
of years was a resident of this city.
Deceased was brother Of eX-city
Treasurer, Chas. A. Robinson, Austin
Robinson, of Amigo, A. S. Robinson, of
Centralia and Mrs. Norman Thatcher,
and half-brother to Mrs. Geo. III. Clark
and Mrs. Geo. W. Fay:
Died at his residence in this city,
after a brief illness, on Wednesday
evening, June LIST, Calvin D. Robinson
in the 10th year of his age.
So has passed away another of our
pioneers, one whose quiet retiring dis
position has kept many from knowing
the sterling character, and his eminent
service Born in Vermont, he came in
to the far west in Wisconsin. Here
the opening of the great civil war found
him, and he gave himself to his country
at once, joining the LIST Minnesota
regiment. After four years of faithful
service engaging in some of the bloodiest
battles Of the terrible contest, not free
from serious wounds by shell and min
ME ball, he returned to Wisconsin. In
1867, he married Miss Kate Hodges, of
Menasha, Wis, who with one surviving
son remain to mourn his loss. 1t was
ten years ago that the family turned
their faces towards the new northwest,
setteling at first in Oregon but, after
two years, moving to this territory and
county, and taking up quarter section,
just south of this city. His health has
not been good for several years, and
less than two years ago he resolved to
sell onehalf Of his farm, now becoming
valuable and build home in this city.
Scarcely one year has passed since he
and his family moved into their new,
pretty and very comfortable house on
the hillside happily looking forward
to many years of domestic peace
and joy.
But death has come suddenly to break
the circle and remind us all, that this is
not our rest. "For there remaineth a
rest to the people of God,
"Where saints immortal DWELL
but it is
Beyond the swelling flood"
There is hope in the sorrow for such a
man, and we commend the bereaved
ones to the God who gave them such
husband and father, and through his
death hath opened to their stricken
faith the gates of glory.-[Menasha

FROM DAKOTA.

LORRAINE, Dakota, Aug. IL, 1887.
EDITOR REPoRTER.-As I am now to
enjoy a short vacation, [ will try to keep
good my word. While yourself and
many of my eastern friends are taking
vacation, at lake Emily, Monona Lake,
or some other equally pleasant and
interesting place, [ have turned the
lock in my school room door, DOTTED my
"biled'' shirt, donned the ''Sombrew Of
the west" and am off for the harvest
fields. Some may think this a move in
the wrong direction, as muscle unused
becomes relaxed and unfit for vigorous
exercise, but to be forewarned is to be
forearmed. / am boarding with a cousin
who owns large tract of land out here
and have helped him, more or less,
mornings, evenings and Saturdays, so
instead of loosing knowledge of farming
| have gained somewhat.
Small grain is not very fine in this
part of the territory. The average crop
will not run over 20 bushels to the acre.
Reports from the eastern part of this
county are more encouraging said to 60
80 and 40 bushels. Corn and potatoes
are excellent and good crop. The
gophers took large share of the corn
in the Spring, yet there will be an I'M
usually large crop.
